The presiding officer presented to the
Senate yesterday communication from the
Secretary of War, in reply to a resolution
inquiripg as to the employment Of clerks in
the adjutant generals and surgeon generals
offices extra hours. The reason given is
that both these offices were in arrears in re-
spending to calls from the pension bureau
the former to the extent Ton November
LAST of 50,439 cases and the latter of 1854
cases. There was no other course open to
the department than to extend, temporarily,
the working hours. II is expected that the
back work will be up in short time.
Senator Cullom, who had offered the
resolution, stated that his object had been
not to criticise the War Department, but to
show the necessity Of making additional
appropriation for an increase Of clerical
force so as to meet the emergency of pen
sion applications. He moved to have the
communication referred to the committee
on appropriations SO that that committee
should examine into the subject and so
provide that the clerks in all the depart.
ments shall be treated alike. The govern
ment was not so poor as to require poor
fellows to work all day and all night, too,
without any extra compensation. Referred
to the committee on appropriations.

DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS.
THE BILL PASSES THE SENATE WITHOUT
DIVISION OR AMENDMENT.
Senator Plumb on the schoois-Tho
Committee Left In the Dark-Not In
formed that More School Buildings
Were Required - Scoring the Com
missioners,

The appropriation bill for the District Of
Columbia was taken up in the Senate
yesterday afternoon for consideration.
Mr.. Plumb, having charge OF the bill as
member Of the appropriation committee,
made statement in reference to the public
schools of the District. No representation,
he said, had been made to the committee as
to any lack of school accommodations.
The only representation made by the super
intendent was that the salary of teachers
should be increased, and he had impressed
upon the committee the idea that In the
city OF Washington there was less pro-
portion Of teaching In the primary grades
than In other cities-rather insinuating
than saying, that the children OF Washing
ton were already educated beyond the
primary grades as compared with children
elsewhere in the United States. Neither
then nor at any other time had the super
intendent Of schools, or the District com
missioners, made any representation that
additional school accommodations were
required. This year, however, the
matter had been brought to the at
tention Of the committee by reason OF
a discussion In the Senate on memorial
alleging certain matters against the com.
missioners, and by reason of various pub
lications made with local prints, and the
committee in this way and through inter
views with committees OF citizens, became
convinced that there was q lack OF school
room in the District. The committee had
addressed itself thoroughly to the considera.
tlon Of that question and had asked the
superintendent of schools what he had to
say on that point. The superintendent had
said. very promptly aud emphatically, that
no child had ever been turned away from
any school in the District Of Columbia.
thereby conveying the idea that the school
accommodations Of the District were ade'
quate.
1t having been suggested to him, how
ever, that that might have been because
the children did not present themselves,
knowing that there was no room for them,
the superintendent did say, but without
any degree of alacrlty or emphasis, that
more school buildings were required, and a
somewhat similar admission had been
obtained from the commissioners.
The District commissioners did not ap-
pear, he said, to pay much attention to the
matter Of public schools, giving more at
tention to bawdy houses, gambling bells,
| sc. However, he did not care to enter
into controversy which was invited with
good deal Of noise, and as he thought,
| for some ulterior purpose.
The clerk continued the reading of the
bill, and 1t was passed without amendment
| or division.

The American Abroad.


The Travel Club was delightfully."- enter
tained on Monday evening by Olive Logan,
in lecture that sparkled with wit and anec-
dote. abounded In beautiful description,
and was as full of pictures Of illustration as
a gallery Of art. The lecture was entitled
1.-THE American Abroad in which the
hearers saw the intelligent American-and
had glimpses OF the other person-on the
ship, In the streets OF London, or strolling
through lanes and byways, standing awe
stricken in Westminster Abbey, mingling
with people of distinction, recognizing and
identifying Dickens's world-known char
acters In the crowded streets, studying the
English man Of business and his slow but
absolutely certain and honest methods, and
finally emerging from the wonderful city on
his way to Paris, amazed at the immensity
of London and impressed as he never was
before with the grandeur and greatness OF
the worlds metropolis. There is perhaps
NO finer or more thoroughly enjoyable de-
scription Of London and the English, OF Paris
and the French than that given by Olive Lo-
gan in "The American Abroad" Charming
In illustration, happy In delineation OF char.
acter, fair and unbiased In estimate of the
people, brilliant In wit, and irresistbly
amusing, 1t is the lecture par excellence on
travel in England and France. Hardly less
striking than the lecturers account Of the
American In London was that OF the same
person in Parls-his struggles with the Ian
guage, the shopkeeper, and the restaura-
teur, his admiration Of the boulevards, gal.
leries, grand palaces, and monumental
ediices and his interest In the innumerable
evidences OF taste and refinement and pecu'
liarities Of the people, all making wonder.
full though not dlsparagiDg contrast with
the great city and dominating people or
the other side of the channel. In conclud-
ing the lecturer came loyalty back to hei
own beloved land In peroration that was
as touching as 1t was beautiful and just
The frequent clapplng OF hands and unre
strained applause at sallies of wit ant
laughable descriptions told how well thu
lecture was enjoyed and how fully the lee
turer had the thoughts and attention Of {
crowded house.

partment for nineteen years. To within a
few months past he had engaged In the
active pursuits Of life and was ever foremost
in everything looking to the promotion Of
his fellow citizens. His hand was always
open to the relief Of the poor or afflicted
and few men will be more generally missed.
In later years he had been sorely afflicted
by the loss of his wife and children aud
with his own bodily ailments, but he bore
all with the fortitude that becomes miu.
He belonged to the Society of Friends aud
most beautifully exemplifed the teachings
of those people. The remains reached
Alexandria last evening and the funeral
takes place this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
